2017 Map of Ana River

About this map

Ana Reservoir and the headwaters of the Ana River dominate this high-desert basin in Lake County. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where freshwater sources like Buckhorn Spring emerge to feed localized wetlands and smaller basins including Schoolhouse Lake. This 2017 survey illustrates the transition from the spring-fed river system to the northern reaches of the larger Summer Lake terminal basin. The presence of Co Hwy 4-17 provides the primary transit corridor through this sparsely populated territory, which is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System grids of t30s r17e and t31s r17e. The map highlights the critical importance of water management and natural springs in an otherwise arid region of southern Oregon.
